Philadelphia Phillies Twitter explodes after Rhys Hoskins carries the team with two home runs and six RBIs

Without Sandy Alcantara pitching for the Miami Marlins today, the Philadelphia Phillies were free to let their potent offense shine. The team scored nine runs in total, tripling yesterday's three. They lost 11-9 to the Marlins, but Phillies fans weren't focused on that; they were focused on Rhys Hoskins.The 29-year-old may have just a .242 average this season, but he's been coming alive recently. Hoskins has hit 12 home runs and batted in 33 home runs this season. His hard-hit percentage is in the league's 76th percentile, and his barrel percentage is in the league's 72nd. Hoskins hit 27 home runs in 2021. At this rate, he looks ready to eclipse that number.MLB@MLBHave a night @rhyshoskins!That's his 2nd HR and 6th RBI 🤯62069Have a night @rhyshoskins!That's his 2nd HR and 6th RBI 🤯 https://t.co/ypGjs6FhJSToday, he mashed two home runs against the Marlins, with one coming in the fourth inning and the second in the eighth. He also hit a two-run double in the fifth inning, which, at the time, gave his team a four-run lead. With two home runs and six runs batted in on the day, Hoskins can honestly say he did his part today.And MLB Twitter can talk about him all they like.Philadelphia Phillies Twitter explodes after Rhys Hoskins carries the team with two home runs and six RBIsPhiladelphia Phillies Rhys Hoskins has belted 12 home runs and batted in 33 runs this seasonAs it turns out, one of the Phillies' broadcasters called Rhys Hoskins &quot;sexy&quot; during the game's telecast tonight.

He blames the manager, instead.SJ_Bryan@SJBryan32@rhyshoskins is certifiably HOT but can’t carry the #Phillies to victory when the manager is such a dunce. Thompson’s game decisions have not impressed anyone.

If it weren't for the Phillies' bullpen woes, Hoskins might've been able to look back on tonight as a defining win for both himself and his team.Steven West@DigitalManSteve@Phillies Thank you bullpen for ruining Rhys Hoskins’ big night!🤬@Phillies Thank you bullpen for ruining Rhys Hoskins’ big night!🤬Visuals are always helpful.
